royalcruiser, excellent pics, very professional. I am also using FZ100 but getting very noisy pics in low light. iA mode is worst, Program mode is good. Learning to get the best out of this camera.

Thanks, gopinathan. Some of the initial pics I took were noisy - but I've pretty much stopped using iA mode now. Stick to A or P mode. What settings are you using in low light?
Not sure if you did a FW update?

Hi Folks after a lot of thinking have kind of decided to go for either Nikon P100 or Fuji HS10, now though Fuji specs looks good on paper am a bit worried about service part of it...

Any suggestions?

I have not done the firmware update. Is there a major improvement after the firware update ? In that case I can try.

well, I should be able to let you know if there is a difference in a few days - I just did an update yesterday. Nevertheless, its always advisable to use the latest FW for any gadget. Take a look : DMC-FZ100 Firmware update service | Digital Camera | Digital AV | Consumer Products | Support | Panasonic Global

It can be a good way of turning stuff into junk. Expensive paperweights.

I advise against firmware upgrades for most things unless it cures a known problem or provides functionality that you need. Otherwise, if it is not broken, do not fix it.

I am planning to get filters for fz100 from panasonic store in kormangla. any help/suggestions will be appreciated.

Got a UV filter for 225 just for lens protection.

Guys waiting for your suggestions....

@lothirao, Fuji has just announced Fuji HS20, the successor to HS10 with a larger 16 MP EXR CMOS sensor which should potentially take better pictures.

It may take a while to reach Indian shores and it's also better for early reviews to be out before reaching a conclusion.

Thanks Don, any idea how much it might be?

btw hows the "Fuji" service?

Amazon is listing HS20 at $499 (pre-order price) right now. But Fuji is notorious for dropping prices too fast.

If you are ok with 15X zoom, then take a look at F300 EXR. Amazon is selling one for $199 now. It's a hard to beat compact at that price.

I got the "now ancient" F70 EXR for $179 a couple of months back :Frustrati

I've no idea about Fuji service in India.

And there is an HS30 on the way? I'm sure I saw it on Gizmodo only yesterday --- but can't find it now.

Hi Guys,
I am in for a point and shoot camera for my wife, though she likes to be clicked and I will be the designated photographer. Kindly suggest which one should I buy.

Canon IXUS 1000 HS/300HS/ Powershot S95/G12 or something new. CES 2011 just opened for the preview and the journalist are going bonkers over new range.

But I need to get her one within this week. Kindly suggest.

Thanks!

If I were you, I would look no further than S95...G12 should be next in priority and IXUS should be the last in the queue.

Reason: S95 has gr8 pic quality...may be 5% better than G12..

On the positive side S95 is much lighter...on the negative side, S95 does not have swivel screen
